Answer Hello Eric:
>>Sorry for the Delay. This Question was Located in the Question Pool. I am Also on Vacation and I had a Few Minutes to Answer Questions.
>>From your Description it Sounds like the Pressure Release is Stuck Open and is Causing Pressure on the Pump when you are Starting the Engine.
>>Disassemble, Clean and Lubricate the Pressure Release or Replace the Pressure Release Valve and the Problem should be Corrected.
>>You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Mower/Engine at this Site Addy, http://hayward.arinet.com/scripts/EmpartISAPI.dll?MF&app=ASP&lang=EN&TF=Mainfram... and Select the Catalog American Honda. Then Select your Product.
